Bienvenidos, El Sauce

Landed in El Sauce on Dec.3. It’s hot, sweaty, dry and it feels like home. The first few hours, buying water, I ran into Emiliano, the coffee farmer from Ocotal with whom I planted a coffee tree 3 years ago. He asked if I remember him – and Pablito, the tree.

By noon, I had seen one of the women from the basket-making cooperative and Gustavo, who has led the fight to obtain a permanent teacher for the mountain community.

In a few days, I will be working beside them to lay the foundation and bend some metal to get started.
